Given information
Concentration of benzoic acid in pure water =
Concentration of sodium benzoate in pure water =
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Standard value of Ka for benzoic acid =
Concentration of of benzoic acid in pure water =
Equilibrium reaction of benzoic acid is as follows:
Using ICE table;
+ | + | ||||||
Initial | |||||||
Change | |||||||
Equilibrium |
Substitute all the values;
The value of x is very small so it get neglected.
So, the concentration of is
Now, the percentage of benzoic acid is calculated as follows:
Percentage of Ionization of acid =
Percentage of benzoic acid =
Percentage of benzoic acid =
Percentage of benzoic acid = %
